S Korean airlines ban shark fin as cargo

South Korea's two largest airlines, Korean Air and Asiana, yesterday said they had both decided to ban shark fin from their cargo flights as part of a growing global campaign against the Asian delicacy.
Korean Air, which flies to 45 countries, said in a statement that it had stopped shipping shark fin from June 10.
"Korean Air has joined a campaign to protect an ecological system by imposing a complete ban on the shipment of shark fin," the statement said.
